Currently, if I have some nodes selected, I can't drag them beyond the visible area of the canvas.
If I drag anything beyond the current view, the canvas should follow my motion.
In Wire, move around canvas when dragging things

You should be able to zoom (mouse wheel) while dragging as well to get the canvas size to change while dragging.

Re: In Wire, move around canvas when dragging things
Every other software with a similar interface that I've ever used will move along with the user's movement. It's the simplest, most intuitive and user friendly way of dealing with this.
If I zoom out to be able to position things it means I have to zoom back in to carry on working. The GOMS model of quantifying UI design efficiency proves this to not be a good solution.
And, I've just tried zooming while dragging and while it is possible it's a sure fire recipe for RSI!

TouchDesigner and Notch do NOT have this feature. Just FYI ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Re: In Wire, move around canvas when dragging things
I think that this would be a nice quality of life addition in wire. Its a fair feature request no matter what our beloved grumpy says

Re: In Wire, move around canvas when dragging things
+1 For me as well, Just letting you all know that most node based engine's don't move with the nodes is all.
Blender DOES however move, but most major node based software's don't.
I've had a request in for years requesting grid snapping. If that hasn't happened yet, It might be a while for this one![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)

Re: In Wire, move around canvas when dragging things
I could list all the software that does but it would take too long. It doesn't even have to be node based, anything that has some sort of canvas with limits beyond the current field of view should have this. It is a factual, backed by theory and testing case...
